Salvation in Death by J.D. Robb

3.0

---

This time Eve Dallas tries to find a killer who murdered a priest by poisoning his communal wine before a funeral mass. Then they find out the man wasn’t a priest at all, but was a former gang member and murderer himself who had stolen the priest’s identity. As usual, her husband Roarke becomes involved in the investigation through the thinnest of pretexts. If you like the “In Death” series, you’ll like this book. But unfortunately there’s nothing new here. None of the characters progress to anything. I predict Robb will start losing fans unless she starts bringing something new to the table. A pregnancy for Eve maybe, or finding out more about her mother’s identity. Until then, she’s just writing the same book with a different bad guy each time. But hey, I’m a sucker for the characters, and the witty dialogue.
